    摘要: A method directed to improving the stability of a motor vehicle having front and rear steering capabilities includes determining a coefficient of friction of the road surface with which the motor vehicle is engaged and adjusting a phase gain function of a rear steering mechanism to compensate for the steerability of the motor vehicle over the road surface. A system for improving the stability of a motor vehicle having front and rear steering capabilities includes a control unit, a front steering mechanism in informational communication with the control unit, and a rear steering mechanism in informational communication with the control unit. The rear steering mechanism is responsive through the control unit to road conditions of the road surface.

    摘要: A vehicle steering system coupled to a steerable wheel, comprising a steering rack linked to said steerable wheel, an electric motor having an output shaft engaged with the steering rack for controlling the steerable wheel. The system also includes a position sensor configured to measure an actual steerable wheel angle of the steering rack and thereby the steerable wheel, a return spring, where the return spring is biased so as to provide a returning force to the steering rack. Finally, the system includes a controller that provides a command to the electric motor resulting in a torque, the command is responsive to the actual steerable wheel angle, a desired steerable wheel angle, and a command direction.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for aligning a position sensor in a vehicle with steerable wheels comprising obtaining an absolute position value responsive to a position signal from a handwheel position sensor, obtaining a relative position value responsive to an encoder signal count from a position encoder, and obtaining an index position value responsive to an index position signal. The method further includes receiving an alignment enable signal and determining a correction factor responsive to the relative position value and the index position value. The method for aligning a position sensor is responsive to at least one of the absolute position value, the relative position value, and the index position value under conditions determined from the status of the alignment enable signal. Also disclosed is a method for aligning a steerable wheel in a vehicle with electric power steering comprising obtaining an alignment correction corresponding to a computed correction of wheel position relative to the vehicle from an alignment apparatus, receiving an alignment enable signal, where the method of aligning is responsive to the alignment correction under conditions determined from the status of the alignment enable signal.
